Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Right then Su Mengsi got up and picked her eyeglasses. 

"No. It's okay. Just that it has a very vague shade of pink?" 

Yan Ruomin jumped up and cried out, her palm smacked loudly on the table.

"Exactly. Yet Aunt Wei didn't notice it. Rather she dragged that bitch secretary Li with her, she even personally put ice on her forehead… agh! Just thinking of this is enough to make me extremely angry!" 

"Minmin, don't make trouble. You have caused my tea to spill out of its cup!"

Yan Ruomin was scared by her mother's angry words. When she focused on the tea table, she was perplexed but didn't show it outside.

After Yan Ruomin called out a staff member to clean the mess, both of them sat there quietly. When the worker left, Su Mengsi lifted her head, removed her eyeglasses and slowly said to the other person.

"Now, explain everything. Secretary Li… who is she? Tell me everything you know." 

Yan Ruomin didn't delay any longer and told her mother everything. The more Su Mengsi heard the more she felt the situation was worse than Ji Yanli being favoured by Wei Airan.

"She is showing obvious favouritism." Su Mengsi pondered slightly, "But it's okay." The smirk didn't escape from Yan Ruomin's eyes, "She is a small-time secretary. Neither can she be compared with your educational degrees nor can she compete with her background."

Hearing her, Yan Roumin felt assured. Even then she murmured, "I was embarrassed before aunty only because of her. Ma, do something… wait!" 

"Ah!"

Both of them exclaimed at the same time. Su Mengsi suddenly thought of something, "If she's here then…"

"... then he is also here." They glanced at each other in understanding. Yan Roumin suddenly stood up and went before the mirror.

"Ma, my eyes are looking so ugly! How can I appear before him with this face..." Su Mengsi frowned when Yan Ruomin screamed. She felt her eardrums would burst at any moment.

"Sis Yanli, wait for me!" Feng Ahnian called out and ran up to Ji Yanli. The latter thought it wasn't a bad thing to roam around the place alone but her peaceful time came to an end because of the girl.

"Can I join you?" She asked with hesitation. 

"...No." Ji Yanli refused her right away.

"Ah? Sis, don't be like this. Let me accompany you…" Feng Ahnian was stubborn but Ji Yanli was also adamant in her decision. 

Even then both of them began to walk side by side, they didn't say anything single thing. When Chi Bainian came out, she spotted them together. 

Without disturbing them, she went towards the forest. After some time, Chi Bainian took out her phone and began to take her photos. As for other matters, she didn't care about them.

"Sis, why are you so silent?" Feng Ahnian couldn't remain silent for a long time. She would start chattering as soon as she saw anyone.

"Don't feel like talking. I need some time to sort out my messed up emotions." 

Her words were very simple but Feng Ahnian thought the lady meant something else. 

Both of them strolled around the place for a very long time. After several hours, they turned around and started their way towards the building of the resort.

"Sis, we have yet to go to the back of this place. Why don't we…"

"Alright. Let's go."

Thus both of them ended up walking for a long time. She wanted to ask Ji Yanli if she would like to join her in the hot spring today but then someone called out from behind them.

"Sorry, miss. You two can't go beyond this boundary!" A woman wearing a staff's uniform hurriedly told them.

Feng Ahnian raised her eyes and stated cockily, "Why though? It's the first time I have been blocked by someone to go somewhere from their place? It's not even any forbidden room or anything like that."

The staff was troubled by her questioning. She bowed slightly and explained slowly, "The owner of this place has told us not to let other people go there."

'Owner… why do I think it is Sheng Ruming? It's definitely him.' Ji Yanli was one hundred percent sure. 

Feng Ahnian rolled her clothes in her hand to enter a heated argument with the worker when all of them heard a deep, cold and magnetic voice and stopped whatever they were planning to do.

"Let them come." Sheng Ruming was seated on a sofa, under the bamboo bush. All of them didn't notice him before because he didn't make any noise, also he was in a corner people could barely see.

"Ah, brother Ruming?! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be abroad now?" Feng Ahnian jogged up to him and muttered, she was smiling from ear to ear.

"Sit down." The man became silent right after he finished talking. Feng Ahnian hesitated and glanced at Ji Yanli. 

The staff stopped talking and left the scene as soon as she saw all of them knew each other.

Later, Ji Yanli also walked up to him and sat down on the empty single sofa seat. Her attitude puzzled Feng Ahnian. 'What's wrong? It feels as if both of them are playing mute game…"

When she wanted to break the silence, the back glass door of one of the resort's little houses was opened. As soon as Feng Ahnian saw Luo Lixi the word 'Beautiful' came into her mind.

Right now, Luo Lixi was wearing the custom-made green dress Sheng Ruming had prepared for her. I had the designs and embroidery of bamboo. So as soon as she walked out, it felt as if she was a part of nature.

When Feng Ahnian and Luo Lixi's eyes met, the latter smirked and went beside Sheng Ruming.

"You have come."

"Yes."

Under her shocked eyes, Sheng Ruming kissed her cheek but the other two women didn't even have any reaction. 

'What the?!' Feng Ahnian's mind blanked out for a second.
